![]() Have you placed it in a lower light area, or is the entire tank just too bright for it?

![]() I lowered it down a bit a few days ago, and it seemed to puff up more at night. I'll put it on the bottom tonight, maybe under a cap for a few days and see what that does.

![]() Mine do well under low lighting and light flow.
I have them about 4 inches under my weak-ass T5s and they seem to be pretty happy. There's no growth, however. |

![]() This is where the fun comes in - because they're actually a relatively quick grower - when conditions are just right.
A few of my frags, once they finally got the conditions just right, and fed weekly - will add 3-4 polyps per month. Feeding + wrong conditions, or right conditions and no food results in maybe 1 polyp every other month. |

![]() Both of my wellsi and merletti's like low flow low light.
A few weeks ago I had put a wellsi under a monti cap, so it was shielded from the light. A week later, I noticed it was receeding! I quickly moved it back out from under the cap, but still near the bottom of my tank, and it's recovering nicely. My merletti's have blossomed after I put them at the mouth of a cave, so that they dont get direct light. Both of mine definitely dont like intense light.

![]() Both my wellsi's and merletti's grow well under low-medium flow and low-medium light, however I believe the merletti's can also very adaptable.
I have a red merletti that is thriving under high light and high flow. JME
